Armless Syrian Boy Thrives in US

Ahmad Alkhalaf and his father have been living in the United States among a rotating group of Muslim families since their arrival in June 2015 on a medical visa for Ahmad. The 11-year-old's arms were blow off in a refugee camp bomb blast that also killed three of his siblings in Syria. Dirgam Alkhalaf has applied for asylum and hopes to petition for the rest of the family if he and Ahmad are permitted to stay.
